Audio Player Extra Features

Fully Customizable.

You can disable scrubbar, volume controls, fullscreen controls thumbnail and more. You can customize all colors via CSS. The player on the left uses the second skin of the player. The first skin being the sound wave skin at the top.

Retina Ready.

Each skin is fully responsive and retina-ready. Wow. The player itself has been tested on all major browsers, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari, IE7-10. And optimized for the iOS and Android mobile platforms.

Minimal Player.

Sometimes more is less, and this player has every scenario covered. This in the right is the representation of the third skin of the player, a minimal implementation which even has scrub controls ( if you click on the margins ).

Only One Format.

Todays html5 audio players require the world in different audio formats. But not this one. Only mp3 is required and ogg is optional.

Smart.

You can place as many players on a page as you wish. If another player is playing and you click on a different one, the other player will stop playing, just try in here.

Multiple Sources.

Self hosted audios are not your only option. You can also play streams from YouTube or SoundCloud, or even Shoutcast radio stations*

* ( for Shoutcast ) – You must first check if the stream is audio/mpeg. Let’s take for example http://streamplus40.leonex.de:41364/if you open this in a browser you will see that Content Type: audio/mpeg

Waveform Generator

There are at least 3 methods to generate waveforms

generate waveforms with an admin panel ( waveformgenerator.php ) – on which you can change color, multiplier, track locatinon etc / flash based

generate waveforms for all the mp3s in a folder ( wavegeneratorfromdir.php ) / flash based

generate waveform for song.mp3 to wavesbg.png and wavesprog.png – static ( waveform.html ) – you can edit that html for different colors, names / flash based

waveformgenerator_html/ for using the html5 waveform generator / html5 based, I do not support this at the moment

Notes

tracks and images are not included in the download package.

to use commenting system you will need php server

youtube will not work as audio on iDevices but as a video due to the platform limitations

the waveform is a static image it is not auto generated by the audio player, but by a tool included in the download package. full instructions are provided on how to do this and it’s a 10 second job for each track, almost automatic if you have all your tracks in a directory.

FAQ

In the smaller player (the circular player on the right hand side of your demo page) I would like to be able to make the whole player larger. Instead of 100px / 100px I would like 500px/ 500px. Where do I change this? I’ve edited the canvas but it has gone smaller!

Just edit the 100 width and 100 height in this piece of code and you should be alright ( line ~377 )
